Massage therapy is more than often seen as an expensive pampering service rather than something people do to give themselves a little relaxation or just a chance to escape reality for even an hour. I’ve spoken to many people who say that they haven’t ever experienced a professional massage and my response, aside from shock or bewilderment, is typically, “you really don’t know what you’re missing!” Massage therapy is much more than just a chance to relax and unwind, it’s a chance to realign and restore your body and mind as well.
With that being said, massage therapy is much like physical therapy in that it helps facilitate the healing process for an injury or reoccurring pain you might be experiencing. Regular massage therapy can help reduce blood pressure, alleviate stress, and boost the auto-immune system. It helps break down lactic acid build-up, helps to break down scar tissue, increases the muscles range of motion thus elevating pain, increases circulation providing much needed blood and oxygen to the muscles, among other things. Seeing a massage therapist once or twice a month has been proven beneficial to countless clients here at Healing Hands Day Spa, but also around the world. With the ability to customize a massage to fit your needs, it’s pretty much guaranteed you’ll be kicking yourself for not trying it out sooner!
There are varying techniques for massage, the three most common being Swedish, a light pressure, therapeutic, a medium pressure, and deep tissue (exactly as it sounds – a deeper, more intense pressure). We offer lymphatic massage to help get rid of excess fluid build-up (it also helps with cellulite, wink, wink), aromatherapy with various scent options, foot reflexology and my personal favorite, hot stone massage. You can book a 50 minute massage for those days you don’t have a lot of time, an hour or up to 90 minutes on any type of massage. We even offer a 30 minute neck, back and shoulder massage for those days you need to squeeze some relief into your schedule. I truly believe that massage is a necessity, not just a luxury.
